The sample used 887 yards total: A) 187 yds, B) 181 yds, C) 175 yds, D) 179 yds, E) 165 yds.

Hook: 

US size E/4 (3.5 mm) and F/5 (3.75 mm), or any size to obtain gauge

Any size that is appropriate for the yarn selected. Refer to the tag/label for the recommended sizes. 

SKILL LEVEL: 

Adventurous Beginner - For those crocheters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations. Stitches include: Single Crochet, Double Crochet, and Double Crochet Cluster.

Notes From the Designer: 

When life seems difficult, I find great solace in working with my hands. It’s comforting to be able to sit by myself and do something that I enjoy, while also creating something beautiful.

This is just the sort of project that I turn to. The stitches are not difficult to work and the repeats are short and easy to remember, without becoming boring. Each color block is relatively short, providing easily attainable goals. Combining those aspects of the design with a yarn that is luxuriously soft makes this shawl a pleasure to crochet.

Beautiful

One of the all-time great patterns
5 Stars

This was the first project I chose to make last year when I returned to crochet again after a nearly 30-year hiatus, and it's turned out to be one of my all-time favorite patterns. It's stunningly gorgeous whether using multiple colors in the different blocks as per the sample shawl pictured here, or whether using a single color. I just finished my second Queitude shawl, this one using EFA Oasis Camel Silk Fingering yarn in Au Lait, and I was blown away all over again at how beautiful this pattern is. This is especially true with ultra-high-quality, shimmery-soft yarn like the Camel Silk. Both the Quietudes I've made were gifts for others, but I think a third one for myself is in the future. ;) I can't recommend this pattern enough. Beautiful, classic, deceptively complex to look at yet easy to create, and extremely versatile. It's also great for beginners...the simple complexity of the written instructions, coupled with the great charts, makes it a great all around crochet skill builder. It certainly helped me refresh all my maddd crochet skillz that had atrophied over the course of three decades. Since I completed my first Quietude last year I've finished 8 other projects, including a crochet toilet paper holder doll, and an advanced-level large cabled throw. The great outcome from this great pattern gave me the confidence to do all that, so thank you Jan and Chandi for all your hard work!

As I just downloaded your pattern I'm looking for yarn. The colors suggested are all out. They all are. Seems that you do small batches of dying because its more cost effective. But I can't find any that are not out. And appropriate for the project. So soon as I find some Yarn then I can start working on it...

This pattern is my first attempt at reading crochet patterns… it was hard at first, I had to google what the abbreviations and symbols meant but by using the words and chart I was able to make it! It’s beautiful and I’m proud of myself for making it!

I only have a few more rows to complete the shawl. It is even more beautiful than the picture. Such a delicate and elegant pattern. The Vellum fingering yarn is unbelievably soft. The drape is perfect. I switched the purple for a blue tone yarn in the center block as it will go better with more of my outfits.

Once I got the correct gauge (I must be a loose crocheter- I'm using c&d hooks) the pattern is a breeze. I like using the charts and refer to the written directions for clarification. I am on the 3rd block and this yarn is scrumpcious. so soft and easy to work with. I have always used inexpensive yarn that I can get at JoAnn's or Michaels, but after using your yarn, I may never go back.

I am enjoying crocheting this wrap. I am transitioning between written instructions and working from a chart so at times need to refer back and forth. It is an advanced beginner project for sure although the stitches used are fairly simple. I would recommend this to anyone who feels they would like to take the next step from beginner to more of a challenge. Personally, I would have liked more photos as a reference but overall am very happy with the design, instructions , happy crocheting everyone .
